You missed the opportunity to name tactic #3 as What's Kraken'
I can’t believe I missed that haha well done!
It just sucks it's not worth 25 anymore. My friend wants me to build decks worth around 25, and I go check this decklist and it's more like 80
@@devantehoschette9021 now over $100!
Alex Babins the median has almost reached 200 at this point
😫🤦
Fun fact about Pemmin's Aura: the enchantment gives the creature it's attached to all the abilities of a blue creature from Urza's Saga called Morphling. Due to Morphling's ability to give itself flying, along with it's other combo-enabling abilities and propensity to beat face, earned it the affectionate nickname of "Superman." Thus, if you rearrange the letters in Pemmin's Aura, you'll find it's a perfect anagram for "I am Superman."
And that's why you should automatically win the game if you equip a Pemmin's Aura to a Darksteel Colossus.

That's the by far best fun fact i've seen my entire life.
Or platinum Emperion
This is the best flavor win I've ever seen
This is such a cool commander, thanks for this deck tech!
Thanks for watching!
I currently got him in my Chulane deck, but maybe he deserves his own now? I never thought of using him as commander.
I just recently pulled a card that will work wonders in this deck. It's Serpent of Yawning Depths, it's a 6/6 that costs 4 and 2 blue to cast, it's an enchantment creature serpent with the ability "Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses, and Serpents you control can't be blocked except by Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses, and Serpents"
Oh god
Yeah. The opponents are f🤬ed.
yeah, i have that card, and was waiting for him to mention it, but it never happened :(
Please do upgraded version of this hentai tentacle nightmare deck.
Maybe in the future!
the updated mana base is around $500. Mana base is not budget friendly
Can be done for 200$
Bear Umbra!
2 generic, green green= "whenever you attack with enchanted creature untap ALL lands you control"
+(totem armor) "if an effect would destroy target creture instead destroy this aura"
Throw this bad boy on one of your creatures, play a shittonne of cards, attack, then play even more cards. And one of your big creatures gets protection.
now that's what i call value!
A great reasonable upgrade to consider!
I spent hours yesterday building out my Arixmethes deck, trying to piece together information, sad that there weren't any of my usual channels with detailed info. Made the order last night, woke up to it having shipped, logged in to CZcams to this. The timing is amazing :D Love it.
Great minds think alike ;)
Thanks. Have you ever considered showing what cards you would replace if someone wanted to use the reasonable upgrades? Could be as simple as putting one of the original cards down and showing the reasonable upgrade appear on top of it. Either way thanks for the videos.
Depends on your meta and playstyle!
That's a good idea 👍
I've had an Arixmethes tribal commander deck ever since Arix came out, so I'm happy to see you do an episode on them! There's a few good cards I didn't know existed in here, and I'll be looking at tweaking the deck with 'em. One big difference between our decks is how I've kept nearly all cards on theme, so it doesn't have as intense early game ramp, but can still ramp quite nicely. It cost me about $75, but I've got some great merfolk synergy as well as tons of ways to give all of the giant beasts islandwalk, so there's plenty of ways to win there.
Another good win-con card is Hadana's Climb. It's not as instant as the Golden Pig of this deck, but once it transforms it would let you turn your commander into a 24/24 flying, or heck, just boost another creature if someone's bounced or killed Arix. (That happens a lot, people see Arix and think "Oh no he's playing Voltron kill it") so it makes it very useful if you don't have access to your commander.
I also think that Tishana, Voice of Thunder is a good card for a reasonable upgrade. Obviously your draw effects are huge, and if you have them in the battlefield, it'll both make Tishana huge as well, while also letting you avoid discarding down to 7, while also being a great draw card with all of your beasts and manadorks. With his current lowest price at $1.05, I'm rather surprised he wasn't included!
Good additions you've made there. I'm thinking of throwing in the End-Raze Forerunners. They don't fit well into the seamonster-theme, but for one big and surprising swing they're fine I guess
Ive been in the process of creating a Big Sea-Creatures Tribal based deck with Arixmethes over the past week. The fact this deck tech came out in the most oddly convinient manner during said process? Ive never felt more excited and jinxed in my entire life. Great video as always Mitch. :)
Thanks!
The best feeling is strip mining someones arixmethes with one counter left
@The Commander’s Quarter you could include the cost make it a super budget and make it 99 Lands plus Arimethes and it’s a land tribal🤗
Haha would be a good april fools
Yeeeeeesssss I been waiting for this one! My deck looks very similar to this but now I got a good idea for some additions. Thanks for finally brewing this one!
Looks like a lot of fun to play. I went to buy the list right after I saw this. Started to get back into actually playing magic recently and primarily in Commander format. Your deck techs have really helped give me some inspiration and ideas of what I would like to play. Keep up the great work!
Nice! Thanks will do!
Love this!
I built the Arcades deck with a few small adjustments, but it’s awesome! Thanks for the videos.
I have one suggestion:
Since I’m still less than a couple of months into commander knowing what to swap out for reasonable upgrades can be helpful. Either way- thanks! I seriously have tons of fun with my arcades deck and I’m looking forward to building a few more you have!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It really depends on your meta and playgroup! My suggestion is to test as is and then adjust based on your preferences!
I'm late to this video but I knew it'd be a good one. I always come to your channel for quick techs and commander ideas. Thanks for what you do!!
One of my favorites so far. Good job, keep up the great work.
Love love love!! Just ordered the $100 version! Absolutely love a turn 2 (with sol ring) commander!! Love you guys!
Awesome I was trying to brew a deck around the slumbering isle and include slinn voda, this saves me countless hours and I own a lot of the easy upgrade cards. Thanks Commander Quarters.
Uncommon Kiora also would be a great pick for this deck. Its budget, it's very flavorful and it has high synergy, untapping our commander and drawing cards whenever we play big stuff.
My favorite so far. Unique commander, splashy spells, fun theme, and budget without feeling like a week version of an expensive deck.
This is the first Arix deck I've seen that I've liked, nice!
I have a clunky mono-blue sea creature EDH deck that is gathering dust & this is exactly what I needed to reinvigorate it! The untap tricks with Arixmethes at the helm are a whole new way to win, and the extra ramp and card draw spells green adds are a sweet cherry on top. Plus, I had already picked up Arixmethes thinking he'd go in the 99 in some other deck.Thanks Mitch!
Dispite being blue the inclusion of large creatures makes me happy and I wanna try it out! Thanks for the video
Another amazing build, it’s like you read my mind. I’ve been thinking about a Sea Creatures build and this looks fun and exciting!
Thanks!
Remember the days when Wafarers Bauble was $0.16? I miss 'em too...
Pemmin's Aura and Freed from the Real were both cheap too!
I already have like, over half of these cards
*Lets get Kraken boys*
Lucky
You are a legend! You got a new subscriber.
I have been waiting for this!!! I leget bought Arixmethes a while back just because I loved everything about it but wasn't sure quite where to go with it. :)
I've never seen Blue Stompy, this is awesome!
Haha thanks!
Stompy to me implies it have hate permanents like chalice of the void because that's how stompy in legacy works. I'd use the Highlander term for this kinda deck and call it big blue.
So happy to see this channel growing. Keep it up man.
Thanks!
Thank you!
My favorite reason for playing a Kraken in mtg is getting to say: release the KRAKEN!
I love that you put that nod to the original clash of the titans in here!
I just got this card and got so excited when I saw this video!
I was making a braids seamonsters tribal, but I suddenly changed my allegiance to simic.
Simic is a good color combination!
Great episode
Love the theme ! Looking for it for a long time
I love Simic Decks
Nice! No problem!
Awesome deck!
great video! i'll be making an Arixmethes sea-monster deck soon! thanks for the insights into the key elements!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm absolutely saving this, been wanting to make a simic sea creatures deck for a looooooooong time
4 months later and it's $70 to buy this deck now
Chris Valleau up to $80 this week lmao
Well, he takes the low price assuming people will take a heavily played card in order to get more power. SO right now this is a $30.55 deck per the link.
@The True Aaron Burr Not so budget anymore.
R$450 in Brazil...
In my experience that tends to happen often when you make budget decks. Mostly because once it’s made other people see it and realize it works well, it gets played more, then that causes the price to go up.
I've been playing Arixmethes and the consistent ramp in the command zone is very powerful
If you have archetype of imagination and stormtide leviathan out at the same time they just cant attack or block. ITS A COMBO
Indeed!
I love stuff like that, also mixing "must be blocked by exactly one creature" with menace where the opponent simply can't block
*laughs in merfolk*
Holy hell its like you can read my mind I just was starting to build this thank you mr mind reader
Amazing as always! I cant wait to put this deck together, as if had Arixmethes for a while and I considered making him into a Merfolk deck. But this takes it to the neck level! Thank you again!
lol neck
That would be a fun one too! No problem!
I basically build this deck when Dominaria came out, with Tatyova, Benthic Druid as the commander
I was so happy when Arixmethes was spoiled, it's a land and a sea monster!
Nice!
...great deck, enjoy! ☺️
So, I used this deck as a base and tried making a deck as closely as possible, maybe 85% the same and got smashed pretty hard every time against a geared up Ghired Conclave deck and an Elsha precon deck(matches often turned into a 2v1 though), but even in 4 1v1v1v1 games, board wipes crippled the deck beyond salvaging (though it was an average of 5-6 board wipes per game).
I changed the strategy up and removed about another 15% of the cards and exchanged some of the weaker crackens, quest for Ula, changelings and weaker draw spells for cheap spells that focused on turning Arixmethes into a little land creature or finding a way to get infinite mana ASAP, and now this deck has the potential for being a lethal threat by turn 3 or 4 (although with obvious upgrade such as sol ring). In a 1v1, under the right circumstances, it's incredibly powerful without needing to overwhelm the enemy with an army of krakens, but still has the potential to.
A few other cards were:
- Drift of Phantasms (Basically gives you one more chance to search for Pemmin's aura or Freed from the Real)
- Waker of the Wilds ($0.14), Bypassing the slumber counters (and if you have infinite mana combo , then you can make it a 21/21 and instantly CD-KO)
- Verdant Touch (If you have Infinite mana combo, you can buyback and turn everyone's lands into creatures if you or someone decides to boardwipe)
- Quirion Druid (Just to turn Arixmethes into a creature faster so you can attach the aura to them if you have it)
- Argothian Elder (similar to Kiora's Follower)
- Orochi Leafcaller (very efficient way to filter mono green into blue)
- Clockspinning
It is just way more efficient to find ways to abuse infinite mana, and people don't see a 21/21 commander land without summoning sickness coming at them by turn 4
think I saw someone play with a deck inspired by this archetype on Magic Arena. They used several blue instant bounce to hand cards to protect creatures and regain enter the field effects. I had a green white token creature draw engine that lost mostly due to mass manipulation, a ~= 50 cent card.
Looks like I have my next Simic commander deck to build. :D Thanks!
Awesome content! Love your channel. Already subscribed
Well thank you!
Very cool deck. 👌
This deck looks so fun
Alright this might be the deck that I end up making! Love the giant sea creatures deck and Arix is awesome
That’s awesome!
Super wacky. Awesome!! Good to see someone make a Tribal Big Blue Badstuff deck. Would love to see some more tribal-minded commanders, too!
Indeed!
This is a really cool deck tech. I'll probably have to build it now... thanks a whole bunch XD deep sea tribal?! Like dah faq!? Dope.
love the card. they should make some more like it a little more often. great video my friend. going to order this card now i think.
NICE! Yup new commander for sure.
It's a fun one!
Great channel! I’m new to commander and want to try some decks other than precons. Bought two sets of cards from TCG on this channel to do just that. Thank you!!!
When I first saw Arixmethes I knew he would make for a unique commander and would be able to utilize cards that may normally not see play time
Indeed!
Good work
I’ve always wanted a kraken/leviathan/octopus/serpent deck ever since my first Leviathan, Polar Kraken, and Benthic Behemoth. Definitely going to make this deck next.
I loved this card the day I saw it
14:01 also note that you can put +1/-1 counters on all other creatures on the board an wipe the field even indestructible creatures.
Omg yes. My first booster pack was from the Dark. I got Leviathan (10/10 trample). This deck is perfect for it.
I‘m working on this commander for some time now. Not that much on a budget, but I tried to keep it in a normal range...for the mentions I would add „The great henge“; „Return of the Wildspeaaker“;“primal empathy“;“Kamahls druidic vow“; „Nissa, Steward of elements“; „Vivien‘s Arcbow“ and „Nyx Lotus“. I also play some clone-Spells like Phyrexian Metamorph, Altered Ego or clever impersonator that can be used flexible to help me (for example copy a thran dynamo or a non-legendary sea-monster. I will try to use Rashmi as a commander in this deck, which can be a very strong card advantage in the mid-game, when the big Monsters hit the field. One very special serpent is elemental in this deck: Serpent of yawning depths, which lets your krakens, leviathans, serpents and octopuses con only be blocked by krakens, leviathans, serpents and octopuses.
Love the octopodes + kraken + leviathan tribal. I'm in!
This deck seems like a lot of fun
It looks fun
YOOOO I was thinking of making my own deck based around Arximethus(I think i misspelled it)! And commanders quarters makes a commander deck about it! Awesooooome.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not quite a $100 brudiclad deck tech...but it'll do :)
It really do be like that.
Haha I knew I shouldn't have given you another reason to ask for a Brudiclad episode
@@TheCommandersQuarters dude there's always a reason to ask for brudiclad ;) I will become a meme in this channel lol
@@supernoodles908 haha I have no doubt about that
Super Noodles I built Brudiclad as my first commander and he is amazing!
Very cool. Their a lot of assemetrical boardwipe and I like that. You sure seems to hit face very hard with this deck. Looking at the curve I think I would put a little more ramp even if your commander ramp you. Any way seem's pretty fun and stompy!!!
Definitely depends on preferences! Indeed!
This is a dope looking legendary
This and dragons are my favorite commander decks.
I have a toolbox creature deck with Momir Vig as the Commander. A lethal combo that I go for is Archetype of imagination and Stormtide Leviathan. I can’t usually be attacked and I also can’t usually be blocked.
I already have a few of these cards for my Arixmethes deck. I now need to go buy everything I dont have.
this deck is... AWESOME
aww yea! this is sooo good, i wonder how much this tech is going to change with Allegiance and simic's awesome creature typing
Simic Sea creatures deck ... Very good , I m so tempted to do this one 👍
Love this deck I love simic
You should definitely update this!!!
Damn... I was so excited to go build this, then I went and saw the deck is over $120 now...
There is another way to get infinet mana in this deck, Voyaging Satyr or Kiora's Follow + Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura + Simic Growth Chamber = infinet Green Mana, adding a "Coral Atoll" can actually give another version for infinet colorless mana.
Flavor win. Luvit
With the new set add great henge and return of the wild speaker.
There's something to be said for a simic deck where all the big creatures are blue.
Looking forward for your Prime speaker Vannifar deck !
If you made a wayfarers bauble playmat im sure you would have more than a few buyers...love your channel!
I'm really liking your budget decklists. Perhaps you can make one based on Arahbo? It would be awesome! Tyvm
Love it
Every year, I buy up one of every wizards official commander deck they release in the fall. I thankfully have Arixmethes, so building this deck got a bit easier.
Oh I’ve never seen this commander, very interesting
Indeed!
And just like that, I'm writing down the decklist and getting my shopping cart ready
With all the card draw, I would suggest a Reliquary Tower or Thought Vessel.
I might just build this
I nevee thought that someone would make THIS a commander deck
Yeah this actually looks fun to play. Pretty cool, idk about practical but it looks fun, and if you win your opponent must retire in shame knowing they lost to sea monsters!
Interesting spin on Arixmethes, not the way I would have done it but still, impressive to go Big Sea Tribal
Definitely can take it in a lot of fun directions!
Got recommended by a friend to check you out in a newbie and not sure how to build and what does what and sync with cards
